Episode 10 - Afro Hair and Beauty

The hot comb - an object that has a lot of meaning to many from the Windrush Generation, but even more so to our guest Rudi Page whose mother was one of the best around at using the hot comb. This 'ting' is still aiding the crowning glory of Caribbeans in the UK. Everyone from Caribbean descent has a hair-raising tale to tell about them as an observer or user. In this episode Rudi tells us about his childhood memories, many of them revolving around hair and how his professional career is very much influenced by it too. This episode was a Message Heard production brought to you in partnership with Catherine Ross and Lynda Burrell of The National Caribbean Heritage Museum: Museumand.
